NiceCover: A Serverless Webapp for Crowdsourcing Data Extraction and Knowledge Generation on Top of Scientific Portals

The title is a mouthful, I know. But you need that long to describe the idea.

There is a story behind it. I have first-hand experience in how major scientific portals (won't tell you which one exactly) upgrade their portals. Not good, my friends, not good ... are the processes and routines these people use.

Anyway, NiceCover is literally a nice cover for the scientific portals. The target is:

(1) Build a social collaboration layer on top of scientific portals.
(2) Write serverless webapps.
(3) Make sure you are within terms of use, but go wild otherwise.

These slides report on the first step.



There will be more soon.
